Hi List, I am searching for Thomas Jefferson Banks, born June 8, 1820 in Saco, Me. His father was Cummings Banks. Father had two wives [1] Mary Foss and [2] Mary Edgecomb. Thomas Banks married Hannah W. Morse December 11, 1842. She was born June 22, 1817 and died Februaryu 27, 1854. She is buried in No. Dixmont, Me. They had three children: Cordelia E., Edward O., and Hannah W. After the mother died, Thomas farmed the children out to other families. I have lost track of him from there. Is anyone out there researching this family or have any info. Would appreciate hearing from you. Laurice Varney in Waterville, Me.
